Once you have secured your place at one of our branch campuses, we will help you to prepare for your arrival in the UK and your enrolment and induction.

When you arrive

Depending on the date of your arrival in the UK at the start of the academic year, we may be able to meet and greet you at the airport and help you face-to-face with your transfer to your accommodation (or branch campus).

Airport transfers

Ahead of your journey to the UK, it is important that you complete and submit our Airport Arrival Form at your earliest convenience so that we have a record of your flight details and are able to provide you with information that will help with your transfer from the airport to your accommodation or branch campus.

Taxi transfers

In advance of your arrival in the UK, we are happy to help you pre-arrange a taxi transfer with a local, reputable company. Please note, payment for this service will need to be settled in full at least 5 working days in advance of your arrival in the UK to secure your booking with the transfer company.

Prices for this service will vary, but are likely to be within the range outlined below:

Enrolment and induction

It is really important that you arrive in time for enrolment and induction before your academic course starts. Our induction programme is a really useful and fun way to find out more about living and studying here, to make friends with other students, and to meet staff.

Further information about enrolment and induction is included in your Welcome Pack.

Library facilities

The library holds all of the key texts from your reading lists. You will be allocated a login to access extensive online library resources relevant to your programme and this includes electronic journals and e-books.

Our campuses are situated close to public lending libraries. On request you will be provided with the necessary covering letter to enable you to become a member and borrow books, journals, DVDs etc.

Computer and Information Technology

We have designated computer and IT research areas which are available for students to use for assignment and dissertation work, subject to availability and compliance with health and safety requirements.
